Read the message. The tar command can not be found, because its parent directory is not mentioned in your command search list (that is, in your PATH environment variable's value).

Yes. Create sufficient output links to handle the worst case scenario, and filter on row number (ideally row number from original source). Run in sequential mode.

Do you want to generate these or do you want to retrieve them from some data source? On a stream input or a reference input link?

I would be very surprised if no renewal email was sent. Do they have your correct/current email address?

NEVER kill DataStage processes. Enable player processes showing their PID in the log at startup. The parent of a player process will be a section leader. The parent of a section leader, if on the conductor node, will be the conductor process. All of these are "Orchestrate" processes. ps -...

You need to filter on NAME and JOBTYPE as discussed in my earlier answer.

Obvious question that should have been asked at the top - did you pay your renewal fee?

The following is as complete as I can make it out of my head, though you really should also read the chapter on the Lookup stage in the Parallel Job Developer's Guide. The Lookup stage returns row(s) whose search key value is the same as a value supplied. The lookup may be performed conditionally, a...

That will not give the correct answer, Madhu. Refer to my earlier post for reasons why not.

Prove it.

Yes.

Easiest is an after-job subroutine to test the size of the file and echo the desired value into it if the size is zero. Use ExecSH or even ExecSHSilent.
